A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biology at Virginia Commonwealth University. Virginia Commonwealth University, 2016 Major Advisor: Michael L. Fine Associate Professor and Graduate Director, Department of Biology Work on sound production of deep-sea fishes has been limited to anatomy, and no sounds from identified species have been recorded on the continental slope. Here I examined the sonic muscles of six species in the family Macrouridae by depth (Coelorhincus carminatus, Nezumia bairdii, Coryphaenoides rupestris, Nezumia equalis, Coryphaenoides armatus, Coryphaenoides carapinus,). Due to increasingly limited food with depth, I hypothesized that sonic muscle development would decrease with depth. Sonic muscles were intrinsic and occurred in males and females. Swimbladder and sonic muscle dimensions increased linearly with fish size, but there were no clear differences with depth suggesting sound production remains important in deeper species. 4 Introduction Little research has been conducted on fish sound production in the deep sea. Marshall (1967) described sonic anatomy of deep sea fish families Ophidiidae and Macrouridae on the continental slope. He noted the presence of muscles on the swimbladder and suggested they function in sound production, but development of sonic muscles has not been quantified. Fishes produce sounds through various mechanisms that evolved independently (Ladich & Fine 2006; Fine & Parmentier 2015; Parmentier & Diogo 2006). The most common method of sound production in fishes utilizes superfast sonic muscles that deform the swimbladder (Skoglund 1961; Fine et al. 2001; Connaughton, Taylor & Fine 2000; Connaughton 2004; Millot, Vandewalle & Parmentier 2011), which functions as the sound radiator (Fine and Parmentier 2015). Muscles can be either extrinsic, typically coming from the head, or intrinsic and attaching only the bladder. The swimbladder and position and contraction of sonic muscles control sound amplitude, frequency and directionality by its shape and movement (Fine et al. 2001). In oyster toadfish, a 200 Hz sonic-muscle contraction is translated to a 200 Hz fundamental frequency from bladder oscillations (Ladich & Fine 2006; Nguyen, Parmentier & Fine 2008). Sounds produced by slow sonic muscle contraction have been observed in carapid fish (Parmentier et al. 2006). In comparison to the 10 ms twitch exhibited by the toadfish (Skoglund 1961; Fine et al. 2001), a carapid twitch requires 500 ms, and the muscle tetanizes around 10 Hz. The carapid swimbladder is comprised of three components: an 5 unattached anterior lip, a posterior part fused to the spinal column, and a flexible fenestra that connects the two. A swimbladder plate, a specialized epineural rib, couples with rapid movement of the anterior lip to excite the posterior region of the bladder (Parmentier et al 2006).The anterior

  • Independent Losses of a Xenobiotic Receptor Across Teleost Evolution Marta Eide1, Halfdan Rydbeck2, Ole K
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Independent losses of a xenobiotic receptor across teleost evolution Marta Eide1, Halfdan Rydbeck2, Ole K. Tørresen2, Roger Lille-Langøy1, Pål Puntervoll3, Jared V. Goldstone4, Kjetill S. Jakobsen 2, John Stegeman4, Anders Goksøyr1 & 1 Received: 16 February 2018 Odd A. Karlsen Accepted: 22 June 2018 Sensitivity to environmental stressors largely depend on the genetic complement of the organism. Published: xx xx xxxx Recent sequencing and assembly of teleost fsh genomes enable us to trace the evolution of defense genes in the largest and most diverse group of vertebrates. Through genomic searches and in-depth analysis of gene loci in 76 teleost genomes, we show here that the xenosensor pregnane X receptor (Pxr, Nr1i2) is absent in more than half of these species. Notably, out of the 27 genome assemblies that belong to the Gadiformes order, the pxr gene was only retained in the Merluccidae family (hakes) and Pelagic cod (Melanonus zugmayeri). As an important receptor for a wide range of drugs and environmental pollutants, vertebrate PXR regulate the transcription of a number of genes involved in the biotransformation of xenobiotics, including cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP). In the absence of Pxr, we suggest that the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) have evolved an extended regulatory role by governing the expression of certain Pxr target genes, such as cyp3a, in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). However, as several independent losses of pxr have occurred during teleost evolution, other lineages and species may have adapted alternative compensating mechanisms for controlling crucial cellular defense mechanisms. Teleost fshes represent the largest and most diverse vertebrate clade.
